Finally riding a big boys bike
The ‘49 Higgins Colorflow’s don’t pop up too often and much less a Westfield built model. This was the debut of the “Deluxe” model known as the Colorflow. This does not have the springer as it was an option for this first year. Yes,…it is missing the batwing light which unfortunately is to be expected.
This bike has all original paint and is in really good condition considering it’s age. Has some surface rust in some areas and typical rubs and scratches. Stitching has come loose in one section of saddle. The Pinkerton’s Detective decal is worn but still there. Has the original Allstate Crusader tires. One tire has an area with some rubber loss on sidewall which appears to be where a mouse nibbled on it? I replaced the tubes and put in new rim strips. I had to replace one of the script pedal blocks as it was missing when I found the bike.
Horn works well. The bike rides good and is in overall very good condition.
I would be glad to answer any questions or take more pictures.
